Speakers
The Honorable Henry G.
Cisneros
Chairman, CityView
America is a nation of immigrants. Today, as we welcome the largest influx of newcomers since the turn of the 20th century, we again face the question of how best to incorporate them and their families into the American social fabric. There is broad consensus that taking effective and vigorous steps to include them is crucial if America is to remain a vibrant and successful nation. The question is how. How has the nation handled immigrant absorption in the past? What are the best means at our disposal today? What is likely to be the most effective strategy?
